Dick Ben Dor, Genesis, Photoshop

Dick Ben Dor, Genesis, Photoshop magen David Israeli art This is a summary (or an introduction) I made in Photoshop of Dick Ben Dor's series. Between the Stars of the six days of creation and the star of the seventh day there are hexagons and to me they look together like a white lily.

As Ancient As The Dinosaurs

As Ancient As The Dinosaurs Israeli art magen David
Israeli painter Dick Ben Dor told me that he made this work for an exhibition about animals and that he thought the Magen David is as ancient as the dinosaurs. The inner square is 10 X 10 cm. Dick Ben Dor defines his style as "abstract- figurative". He is also a member of the Miniaturists Organization. He told me, for instance, that another member of this organization had to take his works out of a matchbox in order to make an exhibition. To see more works of Dick Ben Dor click

Star of David incense


Photo is courtesy of The "Debrarian' who published it on Flickr and wrote to me:
I took this photo in Mexico City, in a huge indoor/outdoor market called Mercado de la Merced (Merced for short). It was in the section dedicated to healing, herbs, natural remedies, brujas and curanderos. I was tickled to discover a Star-of-David-themed incense. (What do you suppose it smells like?)
I have another question: What is the six pointed star doing on this product?
Anyhow - I like the colors...

Red Magen David

Red Magen DavidI went especially to take this photo of the huge sign on the Red Magen David building at the entrance to Jerusalem. It can be seen from every car that comes from the direction of Tel Aviv. It is part of the landscape for thousands of people every day. It is part of the unbelievable bombardment of this image (forget the color for a moment) on the inhabitants of this country; especially on Independence Day when our national emblem peeps from every flag from almost every building, from almost every car.
